But what strong acids are there and what are superacids? Let us find out.

"This SUPERACID Will Dissolve Anything!"
Superacid: you can"t defeat me
Anything: I know but he can

Your accent makes chemistry interesting

I am severely under the impression that this man is being dubbed.

For concetrated Nitric or Sulfuric acid my collegues and I never use gloves. You can immediately tell when you get it on your skin and if you wash it away in the next Minute nothing will happen at all. Nitric acid will only stain your skin yellow, which goes away after a few days. However with gloves fuming nitric acid will make them catch fire and gloves burned into your hand are probably way worse, than having yellow skin for a few days. Also with gloves you cant really tell if you got anything on them, so it easily happens, that you touch other things with it and contaminate it. The only acids that I use gloves for are superacids, oleum und strongly toxic ones like Hydrofluoric acid.

People: Super acid dissolves anything !

The Bottle it's in: Keep pretending you don't see me.

That Radio noise plying in background.
Man of culture...

I feared that you immediately went over to fluoroantimonic acid, but sanity prevails, thankfully.

The strongest acid I ever had, had me seeing colors changing everywhere and talking to my door.

Im hoping for, someday, I can see this Man with Nile doing a project together.
Tha god Like Accent
The God Like love for chemical
Zhetrs why Im going to love zhis combinechion
The perfect team doesn't exis-

[potawatomi]

Amazing demonstrations and very well narrated. Excellent video.

[peterkara]

I must agree, you do perfect videos about chemistry. I am not big fan of chemistry but definitely I like your videos.

3:05 "the contents of that is similar to human polymer. by the way, human is one of the main components of soil."
Wait this must surely be a case of misheard lyrics, no? Im so confused. xD

14:28 your transition from super acid to a jar of pickles made me jump when it looked like you'd drink it.

I have worked with Fluosulfonic acid in a chemical plant. We used it to make Refrigerant 152A on occasion. Very dangerous stuff and it was aggressive on the high nickel alloy reactor as well.

The reason the water reacts with more vigor on the aluminum and other metals is the reaction is highly sensitive to the temperature of the reactants. Adding water to sulfuric acid or any of the other super acids is the heat of solution on those are extremely high. With that, the temperature of the acid is elevated due to the added heat of the solution in water, causing the otherwise slow reaction at room temperature to get rather violent. Similar to the big reaction you get dropping water into pure sulfuric acid. Only now, you have an added chemical, the aluminum or magnesium, as a reactant that only needed to get over the initial heat required to start, and from there it is generating the rest of the heat to finish consuming the metals.

Nice content. I will be watching often.

I love the apature science music in the beginning

It blows my mind how perfectly the closed captioning transcribed this video

[EdwardTriesToScience]

Caustic is usually used for describing alkalis, while corrosive is for acids, they can be swapped but it just sounds strange saying acid is casutic

10:22 "Properties of this plastic are similar to those of well known teflon, which practically doesn't react with any chemical"

Sodium metal dissolved in liquefied ammonia has entered the chat.

Thanks for video! As always very interesting. Greetings from Poland!

3:16 human is one of the main components of soil, I think this just switched genres
